Crockpot Lemon Butter Garlic Herb Chicken
Chileeeee, let me tell you about this here chicken recipe! This lemon butter garlic herb chicken is E-VE-RY-THING! It's so good, I cooked it 2 days back to back! LOL! No lie! And to make it even better, it only takes 15 minutes to get it in the crockpot! Winning!
I love everything about this recipe! I absolutely love anything garlicky and buttery, and chicken thighs are my favorite part of chicken. They always stay tender and juicy, and in this recipe, they cook perfectly in a buttery lemon garlic sauce that's filled with flavor! Day 1, we had this with a baked sweet potato and roasted brussel sprouts. Day 2 we had it with dairy-free garlic mashed potatoes, and sauteed squash! I can't even choose which sides went best with it... They were equally BOMB!
Ok, ok, enough of me yapping! Let's get into this recipe, honey! Bee sure watch the video tutorial (at the top of the page), run to the grocery store, get the ingredients and make this TODAY!!!!
